Carry Finger-Washing Supplies in the Car

"Before you set out on an extended car trip or vacation this summer, stock the car with supplies for washing sticky fingers."

Is it just a little comforting that we have been dealing with kids being sticky since the dawn of man?

I find it reassuring that my experience raising children are similar world wide and across the timelines.

If you are one of those who say "I never let my kid eat in the car", this post isn't for you.

In fact, you can just close out this blog and go enjoy your Instagram filtered life.

For the rest of us real people let's sit and talk about how to survive our gross sticky kids.

Our Almanac suggests some old school tactics for tackling dirty hands.

1. Put a little grease-cutting lemon juice with some tap water in a squeeze bottle.

Y'all

This is great if you want to find out if your kid has a small paper cut.

This just hurts thinking about it.

2. Carry some Wonder Cloths or Handi Wipes

This is more my style.

I use diaper wipes. Those things are great for anything!

Runny nose?

3. Reusable Cloths

This is for you crunchy moms.

Get some baby washcloths and mix your favorite essential oils.

Carry in your little reusable container and wash your precious babies with them.

You will clean them, remove germs, and cure Ebola with them!

How do you handle sticky kids?

26 March 2018 - Guess Who's Back, Christ is Back, Tell a Friend

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye...

1 January 2018 - Happy New Year!!

A couple years ago I started collecting interesting antique books. I love seeing a peek into the time period the book was written. Until the end of 2017 I was a stay at home mom. We moved across the country and a new chapter began for our family. This morning for the beginning of the new year I pick up my "Illustrated Almanac for Homemakers" book. This book was written in 1974. Just check out those bellbottoms. Originally sold for $9.95. I bought at Half Price Books for $7.00 I thought this book would be fun to flip through. Just see what homemakers were doing in the 1970's verses what I was doing or not doing. So for 2018 I thought it would be fun to see what I can accomplish this 365 days from this almanac even though I am no longer a full time homemaker. Lets begin in January! Each month has a super cute illustration featuring our homemaker heroine! It's the first day of the first year so let's peek at today's tas...

Tips on Buying Lamb "A reference to "spring lamb"may make your mouth water - and well it should." Lamb is typically thought of as a seasonal meat with celebrations of Passover and Easter where lamb is usually eaten. A spring lamb is usually 3-5 months old so that the meat is very tender. Anything at the store that is labeled "LAMB" is a sheep that is a year or younger. These lambs are sometimes only milk fed. So keep these in mind as we keep talking about how to choose meet from a baby sheep. Meat from a lamb is taken from one month to one year. Lamb Chops, Leg of Lamb, and Lamb Shank are the most popular cuts. These cuts are perfect for dry-heat cooking, broiling, or roasting. You can find some delicious recipes here! Go ahead...
